I am just wondering if some of the translation is leaking even though
the keyboard is in raw mode...

OK, scratch that... Are there any other input devices? Anything
connected via uinput and listening? What does /proc/bus/input/devices
show? Maybe if Tom could compile and load evbug module it would show us
where the additional events are coming form, becaus ethey surely are not
generated by the keyboard itself (otherwise we'd have seen them in
evtest output for that device).
